The lack of a degree will never, and rightfully so, stop people from engineering things.

Could you imagine living in this world minus the things that have been engineered by people who did not hold a degree.

“Could you imagine living in this world minus the things that have been engineered by people who did not hold a degree. “

The vast majority of the computer industry wouldn’t exist without them. The modern computer era was developed primarily from 1972 to 1992, give or take, and the inventions during that time were simply interested people advancing their hobbies for money. Few had formal training. Even now the vast majority, probably 95%, of computer programmers were not formally educated in a college to program computers or to be engineers of any kind.
